Wigner Functions in High Energy Physics

arXiv:quant-ph/0303080 · doi:10.1556/APH.19.2004.3-4.40

Abstract

Recent developments are (meta)reviewed in the applications of Wigner functions to describe the observed single particle spectra and two-particle Bose-Einstein (or Hanbury Brown -- Twiss) correlations in high energy particle and nuclear physics, with examples from hadron-proton and Pb + Pb collisions at CERN SPS.
